Disney cruise






Thanks to my dad and Bev, we got to go on another disney cruise last week! We had a blast and it was great to see some family members that I don't get to see very often. Our first stop was Nassau and we went to the Blue Lagoon beach. The water was so blue and clear! I guess I am used to Galveston which is sort of gray and not at all clear! We played in the water, built sandcastles on the beach and played on the big obstacle course they had set up in the water. The next day we went to Castaway Cay which is my favorite stop. It's a disney owned island, so you can literally walk off the ship and onto the beach. We played in the water for awhile then we rented bikes and rode around the island. After lunch, Jason took Kate back to the boat for a nap and my sisters and I went to the adult side of the island. It was so relaxing! I got to just sit and read for an hour with no interruptions. The last day we were at sea, so after playing in the pool with Kate for awhile, my sisters and I went to the spa and used the saunas and these wonderful warming beds that they had. My dream house will definitely have one of those beds in it!
We had kid free dinners almost every night thanks to the awesome kids club on the ship. Kate got to dress up like a different princess every night and run around and play as much as she wanted. We also went to the theater every night because the shows they do are so fun. The music is familiar because it's all from the disney movies, and at different times during the show they would blow bubbles into the audience, or throw confetti at the end. The shows were a little loud for Kate, but she still liked going to them. We had such a great time. Thanks dad and Bev!!

Future photographer?






Kate has been loving to take pictures lately. It is always fun to look at them when she is done and she what she managed to capture. There are a lot of duds, but she does get a few pretty great shots. Here are a few examples.
